Collage

Over the pass week, we have been working on a summative collage. The summative collage consists of your learner profile and all of the basic tools we have learned in photoshop. So, the tools we used were supposed to be related to your learner profile. Mine was respect. This collage project was really fun (sometimes it was funny) and educational for me. In addition, it can teach others about the perspective of learner profiles at SMAA school. In general, this elucidates that the piece of art I just created is useful for education, and made me realize that you can create anything that's possible you want to share it with the world. Awesome project!

Filtering Pictures

In this lesson, we learned how to change the perspective of a picture. There were many styles and formats to alter the picture. Fortunately, this lesson was not difficult, but very easy to do. I enjoyed this class because I realized that I could change visuals of a picture (the picture of the flowers below the first one). This picture above the second one shows a person planting a plant in a garden, which symbolizes my learner profile, respect.

Cloning Pictures

In this class, we learned how to clone a picture into another picture and "erasing" in a photo. Fortunately, this lesson was not very difficult for me because the tools were simple to utilize. It was also an awesome lesson because it can teaches you a little more knowledge about manipulating or altering pictures. Best lesson ever!

Photoshop Cropping

In this amazing lesson, we learned how to crop our school pictures in different backgrounds. Even there were challenges for me, I still was surprised that you can do anything with art. You can manipulate it, alter it, create it, etc. Overall this lesson was really fun.

Background Layers

In this activity, we learned about putting layers in backgrounds of pictures. This particular assignment was a little difficult for me because there were a lot of photoshop tools to use. But, I had fun learning this complex photoshop lesson.

The Crow Picture

Editing a picture was really awesome becasue it showed me that you can make different versions of that same picture. Also, because it is art in a unique way using Photoshop tools.

Voki Picture

Creating a picture of a person or yourself was pretty fun and cool. You can draw anything with your imagination.
However, it was a little difficult for me to use Voki because there were a lot of computer freezes. Still, it was a cool activity.

Respect

Drawing a picture was fun for me because it is very neat and teaches people a lesson about pictures being an important sign for something.

Photo editing

Photo editng was very amazing for me because this was the first time I used photo editing for pictures and it was easy for me to learn it quickly. I am a huge fan of art, especially modern art and this unique project help me to realize that you can create any kind of art in microsoft word.

Your avatar

I think that creating your own avatar is cool because you have the freedom to create anything you want and it can protect yourself from cyber predators.

Taxego

I thought making a taxego was awesome because you can make up words relating to a specific topic and it is creative.
